Jake Moffat releases solo album ‘Scream’

C at h e r i n e Appling Sta ff Reporter

The girls come first, and then comes music.

Hearing a musician say that isn’t surprising, with the image of a stereotypical rocker in mind. But red dirt singer and songwriter Jake Moffat brings it a new meaning.

Isabella and Cora are the girls to which Moffat refers.

Isabella and Cora are Moffat’s 7- and 2-year-old daughters.

Moffat said the biggest shift in his music career was when he became a father and had to learn to prioritize his time.

“I made a point to be home to put the girls to bed, even if that meant leaving the recording studio early,” Moffat said.

The Stillwater native has been in music for more than 10 years and has played in Oklahoma and the Dallas area. Jake Moffat Band has performed with Stoney Larue,

Jason Boland, Reckless Kelly, Jack Ingram, Wade Bowen, The Stagglers, The Red Dirt Rangers and Mr. Ellis Paul.

“The Dwight Boeckman Music Fest was the biggest we’ve performed with 1,500 people,” said Luke Tallon, drummer for Jake Moffat Band and engineer on Moffat’s solo album. “It was a high energy show and the first time to do something like that.”

Moffat releases his solo album, “Scream,” on Tuesday.

Having children is only one of Moffat’s many journeys. Moffat went through another trek last year, losing 116 pounds.

“I started running and doing 5Ks and have had a drastic change,” Moffat said.

His music motivated part of this transformation.

“We have a great working relationship,” said Sigurdur Birkis, producer of “Scream.” “So I was able to have a serious conversation with Jake and tell him that it sounded like he was huffing and puffing.”

It started with walking a couple of miles a day then turned into running a couple of miles a day and soon Moffat was running in races.

“Jake’s voice took a 180 when he started dieting and losing weight,” Birkis said. “When he came back into the studio, he

crushed it.”

Birkis met Moffat three years ago, and “Scream” will be the second album he produced for Moffat.

April will not only signify the release of Moffat’s solo album, but also the mark of his sixth year of sobriety after battling a drug addiction for 15 years.

“I write about where I am,” Moffat said. “Past songs and albums have been about battling my addiction, but this album is different. I’m really excited for this album because it is a hundred percent, wholeheartedly me. I wanted to do things my way.”

Moffat said people who are facing addiction have reached out to him, and he has played a mentor role in helping them break their addiction.

Moffat said there will be some new songs on this album, but also some old ones he has revamped such as “Little Black Dress.” Moffat’s solo album is more of a rock album than albums in the past.

“My favorite song on the album is probably ‘Lately,’” Birkis said.

Courtesy of Jake Moffat Jake Moffat, from Stillwater, performs in Oklahoma and the Dallas Fort-Worth area. Moffat and his band are known for red dirt music.

“My favorite part about music is “It has a dark, low growl to it. writing,” Moffat said. “It’s my way Jake’s voice sounds great, and it of sharing my story. My second just has a different structure to it.” part of music has been touring and “Scream” features Sigurdur meeting new people.”

Eskimo Joe’s cheese fries ranked

BY A d d iso n S k aggs Staff Reporter

There are cheese fries, and then, there are Eskimo Joe’s cheese fries.

With an average of 7,000 plates served a month, Eskimo Joe’s knows cheese fries. Eskimo Joe’s cheese fries are world-famous, have been featured on Food Network and have become a Stillwater staple.

Eskimo Joe’s features nine combinations of cheese fries on its menu. With options from sweet pepper bacon to chili cheese, the choices are overwhelming.

No worries, the O’Colly sampled all nine to ensure you make the right selection. Check out how the Eskimo Joe’s cheese fries stack up.

1. Sweet-Peppered Bacon Cheese Fries

T

he sweet-peppered bacon cheese fries reign supreme with their perfect combination of flavors. Cheese is plentiful, and the crunchy bacon is sweetly peppered to perfection.

All of Eskimo Joe’s cheese fries are delicious. To be named the best, the cheese fries must have a legendary list of supporters. These cheese fries are the favorite of many Cowboy legends from coaches to national champions.

Sweet peppered bacon’s Twitter supporters include OSU basketball coach Brad Underwood, SGA President-elect Dillon Johnson, OSU alumna Anne Greenwood, OSU track national champion Kaela Edwards, 2015 OSU Homecoming King Jason Wetzler, OSU Fan Development Coordinator Matt Fletcher and OSU softball coach Kenny Gajewski.

OSU rolling out new gen-ed transfer policies

BY M eg N o b l e

C on t rib utin g W riter

Changing majors at Oklahoma State University would be easier under a plan requiring most degree programs to accept a larger variety of general education courses, OSU officials said recently.

The OSU/A&M Board of Regents approved the 30-10 Plan this past month. Provost Gary Sandefur hopes the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education approves the changes in time for them to take effect for the fall.

All bachelor’s degrees at Oklahoma’s public universities must include 40 credit hours of general education courses.

Under OSU’s plan, 30 credit hours of general education courses would transfer between most majors, but most academic programs could specify 10 credit hours of general education courses that students must take in their majors.

Education and engineering majors would be among the 32 degree programs that still could specify more than 10 credit hours of gen-ed courses, Associate Provost Pamela Fry said.

Students take general education classes in natural sciences, composition, social sciences and humanities. With these changes, students would have more options to choose from.

“You have to take some of those courses, but not everyone

takes the same courses,” Sandefur said.

Fry said OSU students would lose credit hours when their new major didn’t accept the same general education courses.

The same could happen when students transfer to OSU. “It would delay their graduation timeline, or they would accrue additional debt, and we wanted to reduce that as much as possible,” Fry said.

Sandefur said under the 30-10 Plan, the new major would be more likely to accept 30 credit hours of general education the student had taken.

“So if you started out as an engineering major, as a freshman, and become a psychology major, the 30 general education

Officials at the University of Oklahoma and the University of Central Oklahoma said their schools don’t have similar plans.

Fry said it’s not enough to have students take only the State Regents’ required 40 credits hours of general education courses.

“It’s how a university meets them,” she said. “We tried to create as much flexibility as possible.

“Hopefully, when this all is approved, we can broadly communicate what I think is a really significant and different approach to general education.”

He said the goal was to help students change majors but still graduate in four years.

Fry said OSU administrators worked three years on the plan, which she called “one of the most significant changes in general education at OSU.” Of the 199 degree sheets up for revision, 32 couldn’t fit into the 30-10 Plan because of national accreditation requirements.

Of those 32 degree sheets, “roughly half are engineering majors,” Fry said.

Sandefur and Fry said they didn’t know of another university with a general education model like the 30-10 Plan.

Cowgirl batters face chance of redemption in rematch with Tulsa

jordan Bishop Sport s Re p o rte r

Sometimes, the best way to get past a bad day is to escape for a while and be around a winning team, even if it’s not the same sport.

That’s what Oklahoma State coach Kenny Gajewski did Sunday afternoon with the Cowgirl softball team as he took them to watch OSU’s women’s tennis team beat TCU for a share of a Big 12 title.

It didn’t matter the Cowgirls

(22-19) had lost two of three in a series to Baylor a day earlier or the fact their next opponent is Tulsa, a team that beat them 9-0 in a runrule two weeks ago.

“I thought that was important for us was to watch some of our peers win, and it was an awesome deal,” Gajewski said. “I think it took our minds off everything we had just gone through.”

Gajewski said he hopes letting the team escape from softball will bode well for them against the Golden Hurricane at 6:30 Wednesday night in Cowgirl Stadium.

“I think it’s good for all of us to experience winning and get their minds back on that,” Gajewski said. “I think it’s the most important thing we can do.”

The players seem to have reacted well to the mindset of moving past the Baylor series as well.

her energy to finding a way to beat Tulsa’s pitching staff.

Golden Hurricane pitchers Caitlyn Sill and Emily Watson have low ERAs, Sill with 1.36 and Watson with 2.23. Sill stymied the Cowgirls last time out, allowing only two hits and tossing five strikeouts.

Shippy said she has been watching the tape of the previous Tulsa game and thinks the Cowgirls’ approach at the plate was part of the reason for their deficiency.

“If you go in and see your first at-bat wasn’t successful, you’ve got to go back to the drawing board and find out a new approach to that at-bat,” Shippy said. “Our approach is going to be the main difference tomorrow.”

Red Reasnor, the Cowgirls’ designated hitter, said she thinks the key to beating Tulsa (28-11) is in the approach as well. Reasnor, a

Despite new MLB sliding rule, Cowboys say aggressive slides ‘part of the game’

N at h a n Ruiz Se n i o r S p o rt s R epo rt er

Donnie Walton watched as his favorite team lost its shortstop, but a childhood friend’s dreams came true.

The Dodgers’ Chase Utley’s hard slide into Mets shortstop Ruben Tejada in the 2015 National League Division Series sent shockwaves throughout Major League Baseball. Utley broke Tejada’s right leg on a late slide into second base, causing Tejada to flip over him.

Tejada’s season was over. The Mets called up infielder Matt Reynolds from Triple-A as a replacement.

Reynolds had no experience in the Majors, giving him the opportunity to become the second player in MLB history to make his debut in the postseason.

He did not play in the Mets’ next seven games before being removed from the team’s World Series roster.

Reynolds played at Bishop Kelley High School in Tulsa before a collegiate career at Arkansas.

When Reynolds was a senior at Bishop Kelley, Walton, Oklahoma State’s senior shortstop, was a freshman.

Walton became a Mets fan in the early 2000s, attending a doubleheader between the Mets and Arizona Diamondbacks at Shea Stadium in New York. To see a mentor of his get a chance to play for his favorite team was incredible, Walton said, though the reason WEDNESDAY, APRIL 20, 2016

left him disappointed.

Like Tejada, Walton has dealt with takeout slides. As the Cowboys’ second baseman his freshman year, he wasn’t prepared for the more experienced players barreling his way.

“I got taken out all the time at second base,” Walton said. “I just really didn’t know how to get out of the way.”

With his late slide, Utley gave Tejada little chance to dodge the hit. In the offseason, MLB instituted Rule 6.01 (j), requiring base runners to make a “bona fide slide,” which involves being on the ground before reaching the base, trying to reach the base with a hand or foot and the ability to stay on the bag after the slide.

Despite Walton’s fandom, he understands aggressive play like Utley’s.

“I think it’s part of the game,” Walton said. “I wouldn’t try to change too much. You see guys, if it’s intentional, you see ‘em not even slide before they get there, then call it. But they’re trying to win a ballgame, and it’s part of the game. If you’re trying to break up a double play, you’re trying to break up the double play.

“Shortstops and second basemen, we’ve just got to figure out how to get out of the way.”

College baseball requires players slide directly into the base, making no attempt to go out of their way to hamper the defender.

The new major league rule has made an impact. Three games into their new season, the Toronto Blue Jays lost to the Tampa Bay Rays when Toronto’s Jose Bautista reached out to grab second baseman Logan Forsythe while sliding into second base. The umpires ruled a double play should automatically be completed, though Forsythe’s throw to first sailed away.

Bautista’s slide is only one example of the impact of the new rule, which OSU coach Josh Holliday said will require some progress before being fully effective.

“Just looking at the highlights on TV, it looks like it’s not ironed out yet,” Holliday said. “I get why they’re doing it, but I think they’re having a really hard time finding the right language to define it.

“They’re going to have to keep working on it, but they have done that with other rules, too.”

Among those other rules was Rule 7.13, which prohibited runners from intentionally colliding with catchers after it was put in place before the 2014 season.

The rule is generally considered the result of the 2011 collision between Scott Cousins of the Florida Marlins and Buster Posey, the San Francisco Giants’ catcher and reigning National League Rookie of the Year, that left Posey with a broken left ankle and several torn ligaments in the ankle.

OSU catcher Collin Theroux has experienced a home-plate collision.

In his collegiate debut in 2013, Theroux, then playing at Nevada, collided with Kansas’ Michael Suiter during a series at Hohokam Stadium in Mesa, Arizona.

Suiter, per college rules, was ejected. Theroux, meanwhile, didn’t play for the Wolf Pack again, breaking his right wrist and transferring to San Joaquin Delta Community College the next year.

Despite losing a year of baseball to a broken wrist, Theroux has no problem with the aggressiveness Suiter displayed.

“He was playing the game hard,” Theroux said. “I don’t think he was trying to hurt me. He was apologetic for it. It’s part of the game. “… You can see when somebody’s actually trying to hurt somebody, and I think that’s where you draw the line. There’s a difOCOLLY.COM

ference between playing hard and headhunting and trying to hurt somebody.”

Holliday stresses the importance of proper sliding with his team. He had the players watch a nearly 30-minute video of the 2016 NCAA baseball rules, several of which related to proper sliding technique.

Sophomore Jacob Chappell, who has played around the infield for the Cowboys, said it’s difficult to balance aggressiveness with safety.

“A lot of the times, you’re in the zone of the game, and you’re just running to score,” Chappell said.

“You’re not thinking about, ‘Oh, am I gonna hurt this guy?’ That’s hard to say, but it’s just the truth.

It’s tough to think about that during the game and in the moment.”

Although the Cowboys have dealt with plenty of injuries this season, none have related to opposing team’s aggressive slides.

The college game includes different rules from the professional level, written and unwritten. Hol-

liday said it’s considered “a badge of honor” to break up a double play in the pros, but a similar play could get a player ejected in college.

It’s on him and the rest of the coaching staff to make sure the Cowboys are ready when they must face the major league’s unwritten rules.

“There’s some for sure that take a little learning,” Holliday said.

“You want them to leave here with a good feel for how to play the game right.”

Today’s Birthday (04/20/16). Play full out this year. Take time for family and romance after 5/9. Invest for the future after 8/13. A two-year work boom begins 9/9. Family windfalls and new love after 9/1 lead to group changes after 9/16. Create from your heart.

To get the advantage, check the day’s rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.

Aries (March 21-April 19) -- Today is a 7 -- Provide well for family. Follow the rules exactly for fine results. Keep expenses down. Don’t take on more than you can do by the deadline.

Others are impressed.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) -- Today is an 8 -- Continue providing leadership. Postpone travel and romance until pressing matters get resolved. Practical action gets the desired result.

Use reliable methods and ingredients. If stuck, read the manual.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) -- Today is a 6 -- The more you complete, the better you look. Money saved is money earned.

Avoid chaos or confusion and take it easy. Disagreements and misunderstandings spark easily. Don’t stir things up.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) -- Today is a 5 -- Chop wood, carry water and harvest what you can. Draw upon history for solutions. You can get what you need. Avoid risky footing, or stepping on anyone else.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Today is a 6 -- Go ahead and take a first step. Try a new recreational activity before buying all that equipment. Pay off debts as quickly as you can. Self-discipline pays nice dividends.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Today is a 7 -- Wait and consider a while longer. A mess may be required. Don’t let it destroy your domestic tranquility. Strengthen support structures. Make careful preparations for changes at home.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Today is an 8 -- Take action only when fully prepared. Communication is key. Motivate your team, especially stubborn holdouts. Listen to considerations.

Make your point clear. Wait until everyone’s on board.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Today is an 8 -- You’re gaining influence (and cash flow). Travel’s a good possibility, maybe for business or studies. Keep to a tight budget. Research before buying. Wear the right shoes for the activity.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Today is a 6 -- Avoid controversy. You’re in tune with a distant loved one. Clean, sort and organize. There are hidden treasures in your stack of stuff.

Have patience with a personal endeavor. Rediscover what you have.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Today is a 6 -- Things are not as they seem. Seek out a peaceful spot for introspective productivity. What looks weak may be actually strong. Don’t make assumptions. Take a wider view on changes. Meditate.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Today is a 7 -- Consider consequences of group actions before taking them. Don’t spend more than you’re likely to get. Steer clear of arguments and conflict. Keep things practical and simple.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Today is a 6 -- It could seem like you’re in the eye of the storm. Review plans for stability. An elder offers sound advice. Keep your tone respectful, despite frustration. Avoid favoritism or gossip. Reinforce structures.
